Tho Imp ortance of harvesting the Ora n

Yearly milling journals advocate the
cutting of wheat while the grain is in
the dough state, especially if the wheat
be winter wheat. 1t is asserted that it
makes more pounds of flour per bushel
and winter flour than when wheat is
allowed to get hard before being cut
This being admitted, it is nevertheless
true that the yield per acre is serious
y reduced We have repeatedly shown
his, and have as constantly advised
farmers to allow the wheat to get at
east so ripe that the grain will hold
tse,f intact when shelled by hand
from the ear. If millers want wheat
cut in the dough state they
must pay considerable advance
over commercial prices, to cover
shrinkagc in weight and extra cost in
Trying Really the objection of the
miller, as between fully ripe and I'M
ripe wheat, is the larger percentage
of bran.
Directly under the bran lies the glu-
ten cells, the most valuable constitu u
ent of wheat. Under the old system of
milling much of this gluten was left
in the bran. Under the newer system
nearly all this gluten is saved. Hence,
the only means of enhanced profit to
the miller, rs b tween ripe and unripe
wheat, lies in the greater thickness of
the bran in the ripe, As compared with

grains of wheat after being cut. since
The straw dries quickly. In stand
ing grain also, there is very little de-
post of valuable constituents after
the straw is fairly yellow at the bot

the wise farmer will secure the crop as
quickly as possible. and will get it
under cover as soon as it is fully

Bat the farmer must take another
important matter into consideration,
in harvesting He must calculate the
probabilities as between his means OF
cutting and the time necessary TO Sc
cure the crop in the best condition as

such as will enable him to secure the

to the trials that daily beset men while
in pursuit of their ordinary vocations.

THE SHAKER DANCE.
A Unique Comb nation of Dancing, Gest-
urng and Palm Waving.

uring and Palm Waving.
The expression on the faces of the
men and women was not solemn, but
preoccupied, religious and absorbed.
1t was evident that this dancing and
palm gesturing is subordinate to II gem
eral system of suiting the action to the
word, which is destined to emphasize
the poetry of sentiment by adding to it
the poetry of motion. Hence, when
the visiting elderess from Mt. Lebanon
told the congregation that henassociate
elderess was detained and could not
come, but sent her love to them, Elder
Avery remarked: 'Let us all gather in
our sisters love" Thereupon the en-
tire congregation threw out their palms
and returned them with a waving mo-
ton toward their hearts, each one
whispering: 1--WE gather in our sister 5
love'-repeating the gesture several
times, but all in unison.
The combined dancing, bowling. gest-
uring and palm-waving does succeed
in absorbing more of the attention OF
those who participate in it, and is more
of drill in social unity, than mere
singing. 1t adds to the unitizino
power of singing some of the good-fel-
lowship which is encouraged and ere
ated by military drill. Mag.
